Though this example gives us an idea about the concept of a friend function, it doesn't show any meaningful use. A more meaningful use would be operating on objects of two different classes. That's when the friend function can be very helpful. this book covers the following topics related to c++: advantages and claims, differences between c and c++, a first impression of c++, namespaces, the `string' data type, the io-stream library, classes, static data and functions, classes and memory allocation, exceptions, operator overloading, abstract containers, inheritance, polymorphism, … 7. • A Friend function is a non-member function of the class that has been granted access to all private members of the class. • We simply declare the function within the class by a prefixing its declaration with keyword friend. • Function definition must not use keyword friend. • Definition of friend function is specified outside the Friends are functions or classes declared with the friend keyword. A non-member function can access the private and protected members of a class if it is declared a friend of that class. That is done by including a declaration of this external function within the class, and preceding it with the keyword friend: Edit & run on cpp.sh The topic of returning references from functions is not well documented, even in the C++ language definition so I have used my experience to guess the rules. 2 Introduction A C++ reference is used when: a value needs to be changed, copying a value is not permitted, or copying a value is not desirable, i.e., is inefficient. 3 Reference Parameters Friend Class: A friend class is a class that can access the private and protected members of a class in which it is declared as friend. This is needed when we want to allow a particular class to access the private and protected members of a class. Function Class Example In this example we have two classes XYZ and ABC.

Also, know the details of BCA Course Syllabus and Reference Books and add some advantages during the preparation time. Students can directly view/ download BCA Study Materials & Books PDF for all 3 years Friend Function (I) Non-member function Has access to private and protected data of class.It gets the access through declaration in the class with keyword 'friend' It can be declared anywhere in class, i.e., private/public scope It has minimum one object of the class as its parameter because it accesses data members with the object name V ariable attributes (IBM extension) .. . 140 The aligned variable attribute . 141 The mode variable attribute . 142 The packed variable attribute C++ Quick Reference Sheet (Cheat Sheet) [pdf] (dreamincode.net) C/C++ Cheat Sheet (v1) by Jared Schiffman [pdf] (itp.nyu.edu) C/C++ Cheat Sheet (For your reference; this sheet will also be included in exams) [pdf] (research.cs.queensu.ca) How to Program in C++ by Matt Mahoney [html] (cs.fit.edu/~mmahoney/) Reference is a major concept in C++ programming language. Although it's not as strong as pointers, nonetheless it allows us to use it to write efficient programs. The major use of the reference variable is in passin
